It seems like the problem here is that you had a new kid, and then demoted your older family members.

No, there's really no problem here aside from a misuse of terminology. Your pets aren't your children. When most people have children, they realize this. Your love for your pet doesn't diminish, but you do experience a love that is stronger than any you've experienced and it is worthy of it's own terminology, not to be shared with your pet.
